Hoping a tax savy person can help me. My husband is in the running for a job that will allow him to work from home (with travel to headquarters in SF). We have been looking to move back to SD from the east coast but not many companies are hiring for what he does in SD, so we are excited about this opportunity. The company will not pay relocation costs, but they are willing to meet his salary requirements so if offered we'd take it. I believe you can write off moving expenses for a job related move, but does anyone know if you can do it if you work remote? Also, can you write off the commission when selling a home? We are pretty sure we could sell for what we paid our market it soft but nowhere near as bad as SD, but with the cost to sell it would net us less than we paid and we'd love to come to SD with a huge downpayment without raiding savings. Thanks.

Will your husband's new employer allow him to work from your current location? If yes, your move expenses to SD will not be tax-deductible. All tax-deductible expenses must be 'reasonable and necessary.'
